In that case, is it appropriate for this group to discuss pricing for
new TLDs? Perhaps we should also talk about trademark issues
with respect to new TLDs. I suspect we also need to decide on
business models for new registries, how many employees they
may have, and what currency they may charge.

If this issue is relevant, then I suspect we should discuss which
TLDs NSI keeps. Maybe take .net away from them?

There are some issues that are not within the scope of this
group, and I would argue that we've found one.
